I am new to Mongo and MongoSH… I am simply trying to figure out why I am unable to paste in mongo shell. I cannot right click there is no ‘mark’ command or option, it simply will not paste. I have no problem copying FROM the shell. Google no help, forum search no help. I have a possible workaround, but its not clean especially when trying to learn it from scratch. any help out there?
It depends on type of terminal you are using
What terminal are you using?Windows cmd or putty or Unix?
Shift+copy,shift+insert or mouse button combination
There are some threads in our forum.Most of them may be related to IDE
To make it easier to paste you can also consider setting up an external editor: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/reference/editor-mode/
